Paperback. Critical Thinking: A Strategic Guide to Personal Development is a comprehensive self-help textbook conceptually designed to dramatically improve the quality of an individual's thoughts. This theoretical construct travels infinitely beyond the conventional method of using cliche terms, regurgitating unimaginative expressions, and spouting platitudes. Instead, we provide an in-depth, profound exploration into an array of aspects regarding the self as it relates to society.This dynamic and innovative approach to personal development integrates three distinct disciplines to explain the HOW and-more importantly-the WHY behind self-enhancement and self-improvement. Through incorporating the underlying Sociological, Psychological, and Philosophical factors governing society, readers will gain access to the insightful blueprint necessary to protect themselves from the psychological warfare the masses are regularly exposed to and subjected to.Additionally, this encyclopedic road map to personal empowerment features-thought-provoking-conceptual expansion questions designed to stimulate and inspire outside-the-box reasoning to form logical conclusions. Free your mind from the veiled shackles society has subconsciously placed on it by deciphering and dismantling the invisible tactics used to divide and conquer through self-subjugation. Boundaries are self-imposed, and we hold the key to our own salvation. Become an independent, FREE-thinker through Critical Thinking: A Strategic Guide to Personal Development. FEATURING: I.
